Liberty vs FIU Prediction

The FIU Panthers aren’t a good team on either sides of the ball, and I usually fade them with confidence. I don’t want much to do with FIU. However, the Liberty Flames haven’t played in a couple of weeks, and who knows how they’re going to look with a long layoff. With that said, Liberty is 0-3 ATS this season as a double-digit favorite and is 4-13 ATS in its last 17 Games overall as a double-digit favorite. That’s rather concerning, seeing this big number. It’s FIU and the points or pass for me.
